A 3000 graft hair transplant is usually offered to people with extensive hair loss across the temples and/or crown, giving them coverage across all their balding areas. Most male patients requiring 3000 hair grafts are at Norwood stage 5 to 6.
Find out how much coverage you’ll get with a 3000 graft hair transplant, how long it takes, and how much it’s likely to cost.
3000 hair grafts can cover a large portion of the scalp. This diagram shows the number of grafts needed to fill hair loss in each area of the scalp:
Here are the before and after hair transplant photos of 3 patients who had 3000-graft hair transplant procedures, showing the coverage potential:

How many grafts you will need will depend on your hair density and the extent of your hair thinning. People with naturally thick hair usually need fewer grafts than those with thin hair, as individual hair thickness can create the illusion of more coverage. Additionally, those with severe hair loss will also need more grafts.
Your facial hair can also benefit from a 3000 graft beard transplant:
There are usually 1-4 hair follicles in each hair graft (also known as a follicular unit). That means there are roughly 6000-9000 hair follicles used in a 3000 graft hair transplant operation.
While this sounds like a lot, studies show that it’s safe to remove up to 6000 hair grafts without creating any visible thinness or balding in the donor hair area [1]. That means approximately 18,000 individual hairs could be removed without a problem in some patients.
It takes around 6-7 hours to complete a 3000 graft hair transplant [2]. Most hair transplant operations are usually completed within one day. Patients will have a few breaks during each hair transplant procedure.
The average cost per hair graft in the UK is £3.25. So you can expect to pay around £9,750 for a 3000 grafts hair transplant.
